MEASUREMENT OF LOCAL STRESS ON OUTER RAIL HEAD

This paper outlines the behaviour of the local stress on the outer rail head. This stress was measured in the laboratory and on the track. As a result, it was made clear that this stress produced by the lateral pressure of the wheel load is a tensile one. The value of this stress on the track is not so great.
